Franchising & Distribution
Whether you are thinking about a franchise or distribution business model to market your products or services, expanding into new markets, buying a franchise or distributorship, or if you find yourself involved in a franchise or distribution dispute, our national Franchise and Distribution practice has the experience to guide you. Greensfelder represents franchisors, franchisees, franchise associations, master franchisees, area developers, franchise brokers, manufacturers and distributors across the country. We also counsel clients on alternatives to franchising. We can help clients determine if exemptions are available, and, if appropriate, advise them on how to avoid the complex regulatory requirements involved in developing a franchise program.
Our team assists clients in formulating a strategic plan to help their businesses, counsels them on how to avoid disputes, and provides advice and litigation services if a dispute arises.
